  • I am happy to see someone on here who doesn't want to join the hype of dropping the wagon into a street sweeper. I have gotten spoiled since I have been driving cars with suspensions in them. Can't wait to see the other mods you have planned. A wheel on the back hatch would be awesome.

    i want to see that project all ready done... hurry bro
    man thats easier said than done :!:
    since i work 86 hours a week...
    Well and the wagons not @ my house but like 11 miles away n a field and i have ran out of daylight each time ive been out working on it ......
    HOPEFULLY i will get to bleed the new big brakes this evening .... and then it will b safe enough for bringing it home...
  • Take your time. Mine has been down for over a year. It sucks not to drive it but this gives me more time to do it right, and to see if I have missed anything.

    you should try some 'speed bleeders.'
    probably not the best bleeding brakes yourself, but possible with them.

    ok still making progress with Scrappy... ☆ sorta ☆
    had a helper that was working on the belts while i did the brakes & knuckles..
    saturday morning the front big brake upgrade got a mean test .... stops on a dime or better slid on a dime :lol: ... ( have to install the rear parts another time ..)

    ☆ but ☆
    as i started out to the Chevy Chase, MD meet, i was heading down a curvy back road and heard a strange noise ... but i had no pull off spot ZERO Shoulder and lots of traffic on this road ... like 2 minutes later i heard a clinking sound .. then heard something hit the street.. few seconds later something went zooming across the other side of the road ... i was like WTF.... :?:
    :idea: Detour..... over to a buddies house and what do u know ... lost the power steering tensioner & the a\c belt .. not sure how but the power steering belt was just a swangin' on the pump as i opened the hood .... :lol:

    i also noticed my temp gauge didn't work so the sensor got replaced and still nothing flat line on the dash.. ok so im leaning toward just replacing the entire dash cluster ... i have been reading all kinds of links and swap sites...
    so whats up can i get a few opinions ( all r welcome ... ) :mrgreen:

    this is the dash cluster i would like to get n carbon fiber for my 88 rt4wd...

    355.jpg
    Then find a nice upgraded gauge that will flow with it..

    or
    356.jpg
    or

    also want to get an a pillar if they make one to fit our wagons for the other gauges i need .. ( i like to know whats going on n my ride.. especially since im getting an entire motor built)

    Saturday was a blast ..... it was drag an Integra day ..... :lol:
    55.jpg56.jpg57.jpg then I snatched off some parts ...
  • hahaha glad to see it running man. I was going to suggest one of those hand pump bleeders too, but it looks like you got some help. Those auto bleeders are a lifesaver. Best investment evar.

    Keep it up man. Can't wait to see this thing jacked up with some off road tires
  • hmmm i really want some meshies now! they look really good on your wagon man! glad to see scrappy up and running! the 8k look really good too i cant wait to get some HIDs in my wago!

    got new front bearings and extended studs
    364.jpg
    oh yeah hit up the junk yard no more rusty door or left front fender
    365.jpg we dont need no stinking door
    picked up some tires for mini cookie cutters
    366.jpg367.jpg368.jpg
    Scrappy was a good pup for dragging that integra around so i got him something for the WagoPalooza2010 trip

  • I was just thinking. I have some of those EG forks if you want to trade your oem ones. I have two sets, and the wagon sits a little too low using the factory struts in them with my extended top hats.

    The car did GREAT! I was apprehensive about you making such a long trip in a car that had been sitting so long. No worries...
